2003 C70 - Check trans fluid

I drive a 2003 C70. I want to check the transmission fluid, but I can't find the dipstick. Under the coolant hose on the right side of the engine is a yellow plastic 'button' that rocks back and forth (see illustration), but does not seem to want to pull out. Can anyone tell me for sure how to check...

2003 C70 Bumper Cover "Welding"

Greetings, My C70 bumper cover is trashed out from dragging on my freaking steep-ass driveway. On the underside of the bumper (see attached photo), there is a whole section missing. I saw a video on YouTube about how to weld plastic bumpers without using expensive kits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Re: 03 C70 Windscreen Fabric Replacement

109 views and no replies. Looks like more people are looking for an answer than have answers. I can now consider myself one of the latter, however. Wanted to find the exact fabric, but I had to settle for a rather good alternative. It's sold as mosquito netting. I actually like it better. Visibility...

Re: '03 C70 Power Windows problem — intermittent performance

Update: Thanks for all your help. Pulled the panel off. Discovered the guts not all that accessible. However, managed to get some white grease on one or two pulleys and some of the cable. Once I had the door reassembled, the damned thing was worse than before. Sometimes, it just didn't respond at al...

Re: '03 C70 Power Windows problem — intermittent performance

Thanks for all of your input.
I am going to pop the panel off and apply some white grease to those pulleys, like... today! :roll:
Hopefully the lack of lubrication hasn't damaged anything.

Re: '03 C70 Power Windows problem — intermittent performance

Thanks, precopster. I'll try that.
So let's see if I have this right. Basically, when the widow stops, it "thinks" it has bottomed out because it feels resistance from lack of lubrication?

'03 C70 Power Windows problem — intermittent performance

I have a 2003 C70 with about 110k. More often than not, when using the "all windows" button, the drivers window stops, but the rest go down all the way. Pressing the button again, the drivers window may go down the rest of the way, or it may take several presses to get it to go down all th...

03 C70 Windscreen Fabric Replacement

Hi, I have a windscreen whose fabric is beginning to fray. I have contacted many fabric shops in the hope of securing some, but none claim to have any that match. I have even had samples shipped and although close, it is not appropriate. I even emailed Volvo in Sweden, but they were no help. The fab...
